See the uptick starting around 2005? That's when an under-educated Playboy model decided that vaccines cause autism, and made a lot of noise about it.

You can see another uptick starting in 2021 because of Covid and the morons who decided they didn't want the 5G injected into their bodies.

Not sure why they were complaining, my phone reception has been superlative since I got the Moderna vax. /s

I'm not saying getting paid to take off your clothes makes you stupid; I AM saying it doesn't make you qualified to talk about vaccines unless you also have a degree in epidemiology or immunology or bio-chemistry.

Jenny McCarthy should be in prison for the anti-vaccine shit she popularized. It didn’t start with her, but that cunt gave it a mainstream platform. Every kid that died of a vaccine-preventable disease since then has their blood on her hands.

I would love to see this dataset extended backwards so we could see the impacts of, say, the polio and measles vaccines.

All,of the others are true, but tuberculosis achine is pretty ineffective unfortunately. It MAY protect against more severe tuberculosis form like meningeal tuberculosis, though.

The uptick looks mostly to be in cervical cancer rates, from after that vaccine was introduced. I don't think this graph was well-designed.

I think that is also what is steamrolling the current problems even further. People who are not right in their mind are given a big platform, whether it be online or on TV, just because it better for the views. Make a show about Nazis, they will search the world for one person who is pro Nazis and then invite that one as well as someone against them. Give them the same platform and sometimes even give the nazi more room to speak. All for good TV. This attracts other unstable people and so on...

When was the last time you remember someone getting a vaccine for Bubonic Plague? It is bacterial so simple antibiotics work, but you have to believe in Doctors and science which is why it mainly kills people in the red states.

1 year ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Looking at it: It's one of the old vaccines, but it's also rarely used and not super well tested; only recommended if you work with plague in a lab. And antibiotics apparently take you from ca 70% down to 10% chance of death, so you'll get some deaths even with treatment. (Also the rodent vectors in the US skew towards rural western states, so there's a bias in who is infected)

Cervical cancer is going to take a long time before it has effects because cervical cancer shows up about 40-50 years after infection of HPV and you need the vaccine before you get exposed so it has to be administered at around 12 or so. The vaccine was introduced in 2006 so we won't see lives saved until around 2040 or later.

I was infected with HPV and it progressed in under a year.

Luckily, at the time, insurance still let you get a PAP smear once a year. My doctors let me know that had I waited ONE more month for my PAP, it would have developed into cancer.

Luckily, it was caught right before, the cells removed, and I was monitored for three years.

Some HPV strains are incredibly aggressive. Please don’t spread misinformation, it could cost lives.

For anyone who may want to, you can get the vaccine later on too. There are multiple strains of HPV so it doesn't hurt to get it whenever. I tried to get it when it first came out but wasn't allowed as I was a man and they were saving them, but I got it a few years later in my 30s.

I've known a few women who were diagnosed with cervical cancer within a few years of contracting HPV, not 40-50. One of them was diagnosed in her mid-20's, after her son was born.

A friend’s daughter died from HPV-caused cervical cancer when she was 26. This was years before a vaccine existed, but it probably would have saved her.

This is wrong. The vaccine is already saving thousands of lives.

Absolutely correct. Scotland recently had no cervical cancer cases in women under 30 who had the HPV vaccine. Ireland has seen a drop from 400 cases a year to 280 in the last 15 years, due to screening, not even counting further recent drops in pre cancer cases, due to the vaccine. National screening programs work well, helped by the vaccine.

Correct. There are several countries on track to eradicating HPV related cervical cancer by 2039.

Abso-fucking-lootly. I believe Scotland and Australia are (at least) 2 countries where there has not been a case of cervical cancer in women who have been inoculated. The vaccine was simple, the results are staggering; science rules. Folks, if you have daughters get them vaccinated b4 they become sexually active.

Everyone should get it if they are allowed to. HPV isn't just about cervical cancer, it's also throat cancer and less serious but still pretty awful afflictions.

1 year ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Aren't their cases much earlier than that, or its for sure that long? I thought I'd heard about some women getting it in their 20s/30s, which would mean we could have already started to have lives saved by the HPV vaccine potentially.

You are correct, no idea where the OP is getting their wrong data. I personally know two people who had to be treated for aggressive cervical cancer in their twenties. Luckily they survived. It does not take 40-50 years.

You're absolutely right, as somebody already commented. Australia requires the HPV vaccine and has essentially eliminated cervical cancer. Fun fact, it's one of the only therapeutic vaccines (not purely prophylactic) so you could use it if you already have cervical cancer.

Nah its called presenting your data in a skewed view to better fit your narrative. Im not saying im knowledgable in vaccines. But i am saying that vaccine deaths should be listed as a per capita and not cumulative total as that completely disregards population growth, which is significant in this application.

Importantly, Andrew Wakefield, the abusive conman who created a fake study blaming the MMR vaccine for a made-up gut disease that caused autism, released said study in 1998. The nearly steady rise since that date is not a coincidence.

The matrix was actually filmed 1998 and filming lasted 6 months. In the movie the matrix is set as 1999 bc that was the peak of human civilization. If you actually think back, it really kinda was. After that, the housing market quadrupled, homelessness jumped by 34% since then. The countries debt 32.6 trillion. In 1999 it was 5,656 Billion. Understand that maths a second. 5.6 Billion to 32.6 TRILLION.
1 trillion is 1 million billions. That number is astronomical. Beyond disgusting.
